We were using Google Drive to store all our photography and other design assets that could be used by designers to create marketing collateral, but we weren’t able to track how many times an asset was being used. Brandfolder gives us advanced capabilities to track the usage of assets so that there is minimum duplication.

Cloudinary handles pretty much anything you have related to images. From serving them up efficiently to adding transformations on the fly, there's really little this service doesn't do. Their pricing plans allow you to grow into the right levels and their website dashboards are very helpful. I would easily recommend this for all but the simplest of use cases.

Cons

Brandfolder

  • If you have a large collection of images, like we do, and you go 2 or 3 pages deep and select an image, then close the image, the collection snaps back to page 1. It's pretty frustrating.

  • Their API does require URLs that can get quite lengthy and not always easy to parse on sight.
  • Documentation on how transformations work and what they actually do to your image could be clearer (what does force_strip actually mean?).
  • Although a free tier exists and is quite generous, should you need to acquire a premium plan for your needs the pricing at scale can climb quickly.

We rarely use their support. But when we need it they are always there. They provide great consultation and suggestions to help us manage our costs and resources better. In the last 8 years perhaps we have contacted them 3 or 4 times - which is really really great

Alternatives Considered

Brandfolder

Much better experience in terms of search, user interface, and advanced tagging capabilities. One arena where it could improve further is the integrations. By integrating with systems such as Figma, the power of advanced search and usage tracking could be instrumental for organizations and users. For instance, I would love to know where exactly a particular file is used, and if need be, I should be able to replace that file with a newer version.

Cloudinary

Cloudinary seemed to be the most sophisticated with the most documentation and platform support. Other solutions seemed to be a lot harder to implement, however, due to the good documentation and API samples on their GitHub we were able to implement it nicely. Additionally, they have a lot of really well-known brands using them like Wired, Sky News, and eBay which gave us a lot of confidence that this was a good robust solution to use and to help others with
